Description
Cornish immigrants have influenced Copper Country history and culture for nearly 200 years. Join Sean Gohman and Jo Holt as they discuss the push-and-pull forces that compelled men and women to leave Cornwall for the Keweenaw, explore Cornish history and culture in the early mining frontier, and learn about a growing partnership to preserve and interpret this history in the UK and here in the Copper Country.
